Schools in Halesowen
Halesowen has 22 schools in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley in the West Midlands, including 16 primaries and 3 secondaries. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council co-ordinates admissions for community schools using a catchment area model for primaries; children living within the defined catchment receive priority over those outside it.
Halesowen borders both Sandwell and Birmingham, so some families consider schools across the local authority boundary - particularly for secondary. The three secondary schools in the area include Halesowen College as a sixth-form option; Dudley's co-ordinated secondary admissions booklet, published each September, contains last-offered distance data and catchment maps for all schools.

5 schools in Halesowen have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.
11 of the schools in Halesowen are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Dudley, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
